Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have lumps & bruises in cheekbone. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like hematoma , broken zygomatic bone or soft tissue injury . I would suggest you to you to apply ice pack several times a day , eat soft or liquid food and keep face and jaw stable . Consult pediatricina for proper examination . Doctor may order CT scan or x-ray to confirm the diagnosis . Doctor may drain the hematoma , prescribe anti inflammatory or may do plating after reduction in case of fracture .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
